National Environmental Law
National environmental law is one of our core areas, including various themes of traditional and modern environmental law.
Our research in environmental law is multidisciplinary and aims towards high societal impact and policy relevance. Much of the research is directly applicable in interpreting and developing national environmental legislation and guidance, and a number of reports have been prepared for the Finnish Government to assist in these tasks.
Our educational courses include all areas of environmental law ranging from nature conservation to zoning and construction law.
